TRADITIONAL WOOD JOINERY: PART 8 *SOLD OUT*

Learn traditional wood joinery and build a stool to take home in this 9 week course! This is an exciting way to make something beautiful while getting familiar with the hand and power tools at The Shop. We'll introduce you to mitres, bridal joints, mortise and tenon joints and dovetails, and help you build a sturdy but elegant step-stool out of solid beech wood.
